The NLEX Road Warriors look to speed up their entry into the quarterfinals while easing the transition of newly-acquired Cyrus Baguio as they face the upset-minded Blackwater Elite today in the resumption of the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Cyrus Baguio finally got his wish to reunite with coach Yeng Guiao after the NLEX Road Warriors acquired him from the Phoenix Fuel Masters in a three-team trade that also involved the GlobalPort Batang Pier yesterday.

Import Eugene Phelps picked up where he left off as Phoenix bucked the absence of Gilas Pilipinas mainstay Matthew Wright to outclass Kia, 118-105, yesterday to kick off the PBA Governors’ Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

The PBA formally kicks off its All-Star Week today with a series of activities in Cagayan de Oro City, the host of the first of three games pitting some of the league’s best players against members of Gilas Pilipinas.

Jay Washington found the right time to catch fire and defending champion Rain or Shine avoided Blackwater’s upset axe for a 95-88 victory last night to stay unbeaten in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
